Error with 401 with itunes/apple music

I had the same problem, but I managed to fix it in the following way:

1º Go to iTunes

2º Click "Account" in the menu bar

3º Click "Authorisations"

4º Click "Authorise This Computer"

5º Then enter your Apple ID

6º Finally click "Authorise"

I hope it have helped you.

Check this out:

Authorization is needed to access "".

There is something def going on with the servers, i keep getting asked to sign in to the iTunes store again and again. And keeps saying my icloud music library has expired. Has been working fine till this evening.

Also computer is authorized already.

Thanks, this really helped!

I was looking for answers on the Dutch site, but didn't find the answer.

I tried everything, logging iCloud in and out, download the newest version of macOS and iTunes.

When I tried to (re)authorize my Mac it finally worked and I had all of my playlists back.

I've a lot of playlists so I was afraid to lose them, thanks to your answer I still have them!

Thanks again!

To solve the problem you have to go through itunes in the account entry -> authorizations -> allow authorization

Had the same thing but fixed it by re-authorizing my computer

iTunes > Account > Authorizations > Authorize this computer...
